Three months after she was assigned at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine in Muntinlupa City, a health worker on the frontline in the fight against coronavirus disease has yet to receive her hazard pay.
“Pag tatawagan na ang RITM hindi sila macontact, laging ganon ,” she told Manila Bulletin in an interview. “Ang question naman namin, bakit nila kami bibigyan ng 5 percent kung di naman kami, kung di naman nakalagay sa contract namin, which is ang nakalagay sa’min is 20 percent ,” she said. “So ang ginawa nila, dinelay nila yung contract signing namin para di kami makapasok doon sa ECQ, yung benefit ng hazard pay ,” she claimed.“Ang nilalaban namin is kahit wala [yun sa] contract, as long as nagstart kami ng ECQ kahit papano meron [dapat] kaming hazard pay doon sa week na pinasok namin ,” she added.
“Sabi nila, pag di namin na-file [within] one month yung sa tax namin, sa BIR namin, di rin namin mababawi yung tax na kinakaltas nila samin ,” she said. To her dismay, Maria Thereza Cruz’ daughter discovered that instead of P30,000 which is equivalent to Cruz’ hazard pay for 41 days, she was only given P7,000.
